  1. Great fish mate! Did you get them on lure or worms? Cheers ted
  2. Great detail! Keep up the good work!
  3. Well done for cleaning up their mess. We need more blokes like you!!!
  4. SUPER EFFORT Mate! I caught my first king this summer @63cm. It was hard to send back into the blue stuff at the time but feels bloody good now! We need to keep our disapline and send all undersized fish back in for another day. Well done!!! Ted
  5. Thanks Guys! I think it's going to be an expensive obsession....... a bigger (more stable) tinnie is required! haha A "stick bait" is a brand of Soft plastic lure. You can see it in the fish's mouth in the first two pics. They are made of rubber - which, now i think about it isn't a good thing Do you think a fish could pass one out the other end if these are swallowed? I might have to get in touch with the manufacturer to see if they make a biodegradable version. Your thoughts?
  6. After many many failed attempts to enter the KINGdome it has finally happened! I thought twice about heading out on Sunday morning after getting in from a Christmas dinner in KINGScross at 1:30am. I woke to a steaming headache at 5:30am but soldered on. The fishraider webpage was full of KING encounters around the Ferry Buoy near North Head so a plan watch hatched. Thought we'd hit the marker for a quick flick with my new reels (Birthday gifts) before any bait gathering. There were 2 or 3 boats already there (6:25am) with live baits down. It appeared that there wasn't much going on I rigged up a white stick bait and threw it towards the buoy (my fist time using braid - loved it!). I started the quick retrieve and the stick bait skirted along the surface of the water, then when it was about 10m's from the boat the water started to break behind the stick - my god it was a KING! No hook up on the first cast. Second cast made it even closer to the buoy, I let it sink for about 5 seconds and started to wind........ BANG! I was on!!!!! This beast was actually taking line off my reel (in the history of TED fishing, sadly that has never really happened!). Using my skills obtained from watching many a fishing Video and thanks to ET, I struggled a little but successfully guided the fish away from the buoy. I got it near the boat and off it went again. A Huge last run! The net came out and I boated my first King!!!! What a great fish! Back into the water she went! Unfortunately I only had a another two stick baits in my supply which got smashed in the next 10 casts with no further hook ups. The other boats started to throw lures but there didn't have much success - they were hitting the white stick baits! We then decided to hit some bait grounds and pick up some Yakka's. On the way from the buoy I noticed the leftovers of a smashed stick bait. I salvaged what I could and rigged it up for one last attempt. I gave my rod to my fishing mate (the owner of the boat) and he cast back in....... BANG! He was on! We fished the rest of the day with bait for Zip! But left happy men! Ted
  7. I have never really had much luck on Jindy either.
  8. I actually proposed to my wife on the shores of Euc (while trout fishing)! . I had the ring, bottle or two of bubbly and some yummy food so she said yes Best of all I caught a trout! haha Nothing on the whoppers you got in those pics! Well done! I stay at either Dalgety (near Berridale) or at my uncles home made cabin near the dam wall. I just love it down there! Cheers ted
  9. Nice one mate! I hope to get down there this Xmas! Get some pics up when you can. Infact the mud on my boots in my pic is Euc mud!
  10. Hi Mate, Has the fishing slowed on the lake? Cheers Ted
  11. I can't believe it. I will certainly sign and post to my local member. I will also try and call a talk back radio station during the week. Please help and do the same. We need to make everyone aware of this! Can we please put a page telling the wider group of Raiders about this important issue - Perhaps on the Fishing Reports page? please.... Cheers Ted
  12. Hi, I went out on a charter on the Harbour on Friday. We had a shocker of a day also. No squid could be found. Found some large Kings near the Opera house but no hook ups.
  13. Hi There, Well done! Where did you get that lovely stuff? What is the best way to skin flattie fillets? I need some advice as i always seem to make a mess of it. Cheers ted
  14. Members, Earlier in the year we managed to get the boss to give us 2 extra days off a year. One day is your birthday and the other is your Mental Health Day. Your MHD can be taken when work is giving you the S&^ts! I took mine yesterday and hit the water with my brother-in-law to be. We hit the water at about 415am as we wanted to do some squidding under the Spit Bridge. That is the earliest time I have ever hit the water and I’ll do it again although I was amazed to see 4 other boats doing the same – its going to be a busy summer! We picked up 5 squid, 4 arrow and one southern calamari (at Balmoral). I really enjoyed catching them. After first light we then did a drift across Grotto Point and picked up a Sand Flattie??? And then a drift along Clontaff and picked up the larger Dusky Flathead??? We also went to North Harbour, Pearl and Sailors Bays but not much going on there. The water has warmed up a great deal. I had readings of 18 and 19 deg in places. While there wasn’t much on the bite things are looking good for summer.
  15. Well Done Mate! Hope your up for a challenge on the 23rd!
